"I have mixed feelings about watching him lose. A part of me thinks that it was a good thing because he was humbled and right before he lost he was starting to get into conversations about fighting anybody, anywhere and certain things like 'I could beat anybody no matter what weight class they're in'," Jones explained when speaking to "The Dan LeBatard Show."
"I was getting fans messaging me saying like 'Oh man how would you do against McGregor?' and I'd say to the fans 'Come on guys you can't be serious?' I'm a 220-pound, nine-time world champion and you really think it would even be a match? Conor's fans really thought he could beat anyone at any weight class so I'm glad that it happened cause it allowed the fans to have that reality check like all right maybe this guy isn't invincible. Something us professional fighters knew the whole time."
